Starting with Creo PTC changed the way that user config options where saved. When a user goes to File-> Options there is an "export configurations" button that exports all config.pro settings to a single file. This includes any company config settings that are loaded with a startup script.
How are other folks preventing users from accidentally copying the company settings into their own local config.pro?
I will probably generate a mapkey that picks the "only changed" filter, then the export per current filter option and embed that in the UI but I would like to know if there are any better options that other people have come up with.

Hi,
theoretically ... you can develop a script, that compares user config.pro with company config.pro and removes all identical rows from user config.pro. You can incorporate such script into Creo startup script.
Has anyone created a product idea for this? We have the same problem and it usually comes up when we change standard config.pro settings/mapkeys or do a Creo upgrade. Without much success, I usually instruct people to only edit config.pro files in Notepad so they only intentionally put things into their local options. I created this product idea to Allow Mapkeys in the Config.sup to partially deal with this headache for mapkeys.
